Change to first trust deed objective

MA Mark Amery Public Seen by 385

Kia ora, On strong advice from our lawyer to be able to get charitable status we are proposing the following change to the trust deed ahead of the first bringing together of the trustees on Thursday evening. This was discussed through by the PHT working group last week. While we would prefer to avoid the word poverty it has proven necessary for charitable trust purposes and doesnt alter our kaupapa:

a) to provide for the relief of poverty and to help ensure a strong, diverse and connected community by assisting those people in need to access affordable and appropriate housing in Paekākāriki;

The New addition is "to provide for the relief of poverty and".

Any other ways to word it?How about ‘financial hardship’

Just a thought. You could also add ‘chronic’ before it.

I like @flomcneill's suggestion but if the word 'poverty' MUST be used then it seems we have little choice. As a trustee I haven't been informed of the first trust meeting this Thursday (unless I missed a memo which could easily be the case as a busy busy month). I'm just asking for clarification as other trustees may be in a similar boat. How was the meeting memo sent out @markamery

We can change later if necessary.
